Best Lehenga Designs of 2019 with Prices! Bring Your A Game to This Wedding Season By Looking and Feeling Your Best

Indian women have been adorning themselves in lehengas since time immemorial. It was a traditional attire worn by everyone back in the 1800s and 1900s and women in rural parts of India such as villages of north Indian and Rajasthan still wear it today as their daily garment, but in the more developed cities, lehenga has take the form of a more ethnic and traditional festival wear.

One can find women of all ages wearing pretty lehengas for special festive occasions in their families like weddings, pooja ceremonies and festivals. Indian women sometimes cover their heads for religious functions and the dupatta in the lehenga is often left loose which can be used to cover their heads. It beautifully showcases and enhances the curves in a woman’s body and yet modestly covers her. It is also the most important garment for Indian brides which they wear for their wedding festivities such as ring ceremony, mehendi and pheras.

Over the years, the lehenga has evolved to keep up with the continually changing fashion trends. Women in earlier times used to sit for hours together sewing their lehengas on their own and then embellishing it with sequins, silver foil work and beads. Today, hardly anyone does this work on their own and there are many designers doing this work for us. There are many branded outlets and non-branded outlets stitching lehengas on order and doing our chosen work on them.

The trends have changed a lot too. The blouses and the type of work on the lehenga have seen a lot of changes over the years. What style, embroidery and work was prevalent even two years ago is not seen today. Women have become very conscious of the latest trends and no body wants to wear something that is outdated. Around 3 years back, neon color was very much in trend but today, mostly pastel shades of green and pink saw a comeback in lehenga trends.

The designers in India give us new lehenga goals every year. It is the designers who quintessentially set up the new trends. They design a garment, the cost of which can easily run into lakhs of rupees, and which are soon replicated by less-famous designers and sold for a fraction of the price. The markets are always flooded with the latest color combinations, blouse styles and dupatta styles for lehengas. Designer lehengas are always a grade higher than the normal ones as they have a finesse and perfection which is difficult to imitate and it is for this reason that their clothes are costlier. Rich women in India prefer to buy high-end branded lehengas only as it becomes a status symbol for them in their societies and they can also easily afford the high designer price tag.

Fashion trends in lehenga keep on changing. What was very nice a couple of years back easily becomes out of trend a few years later. The color trend changes. Neon was selling like hot cakes a couple of years back but now the exact opposite like coral, peach and pastel shades are in. Zardosi and pita work was rampant long time back, but now they are completely out. The same goes for the blouse style. Long blouses were in some time back, then jacket style blouses came in trend. Next we saw off-shouder and cold shoulder blouse styles with lehengas. The fabric also keeps changing with trends. From crape to brocade to georgette to net, everything has come and gone and then come again.

Today, you will find hardly anyone who does not want to wear a lehenga for a special ethnic occasion. Women in India spend lots of money to get their dream lehengas stitched. Little girls look quite cute adoring pretty lehengas with flowing dupattas for traditional functions.
